Rep. Mike Garcia Memorial Day Speech 2024

Published | Video Starts at 09:02

So let me sum up and say that true evil still does exist. The denial of the existence of evil is more naive and dangerous than the denial of death itself. The implications of a superpower like ours to deny the existence of pure threats like China and peer threats like our national debt and near peer threats like Russia and North Korea, are as dangerously naive. We may need someone to just demand that one. There we go. These denials of existence as evil are what lead to a lack of preparation and jeopardize our freedoms and our future. (09:02–09:18)
